Q1. Read the Assertion and Reason based on the Hindi sentence "मुझे यह किताब पढ़े हुए दो साल हो गए हैं।" Assertion (A): The correct translation is: "It has been two years since I read this book." Reason (R): In such sentences, "हुए" marks time elapsed since a completed action, so English commonly uses "It has been + time + since + simple past tense."
A A is false, but R is true.
B A is true, but R is false.
C Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
D Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. Correct
Explanation
The rule is that elapsed time since a completed action is expressed as "It has been + period of time + since + simple past tense". The cue "पढ़े हुए दो साल हो गए हैं" means two years have passed since the act of reading was completed. Therefore A is true, R is true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
